A project-based coding weekly club for beginners who are excited to start coding with Scratch and have some experience using a computer.

Class Experience

US Grade 3 - 5

Beginner - Intermediate Level

A coding club billed weekly/withdraw anytime, for young coders to share and express themselves as they feel comfortable with their knowledge of Scratch

To avoid any technical issues during club time, I suggest taking the Intro class prior to joining: https://outschool.com/classes/97482ec3-5a80-4191-9b6b-e5db9d885c6a

❤️ Students should be able to read and navigate a browser and zoom efficiently.

🧐 Students should have a basic understanding of the Scratch...

Develop programs with sequences and simple loops, to express ideas or address a problem. Develop plans that describe a program’s sequence of events, goals, and expected outcomes.  Identify and fix errors using a systematic process. Using correct terminology, describe steps taken, and choices made during the iterative process of program development. Create several computational artifacts for practical intent, personal expression, or to address a societal issue.

Great teachers form strong relationships with their students by engaging them in the subjects they are passionate about. I have always been a logical thinker who enjoys science, math, technology, and engineering both for work and play. 

I worked as an engineer for companies like Frito-Lay, Anheuser-Busch, Amgen as a consultant for many years improving their systems with automation and equipment. Once I became a parent, I began teaching extra-curricular classes as a way to have more time at home, but stay involved in subjects that bring me joy. 

Realizing that by being warm, professional, and enthusiastic, I am able to engage students. My creative lessons and strong classroom presence help build student confidence while increasing interest in subjects that may otherwise seem intimidating.
